I seen first time this modular stands at Aqua Medic USA coral farm. I sent an email and Thomas from Aqua Medic was kind enough to help me with the stand. He is a grate guy feel free to contact him.
My stand is made with 40x40 extruded aluminium profiles, the 72x24x30 inch with anti-vibration "legs". It is for life worth to invest in it, cero corosion and no vibration transmited to the floor.

It's hard to say... there are so much parameters on this equation, I think this project is so much experimental...
1. No live rock at all!
2. Solatubes with only supplemental lighting
3. I use skimmer only at night "If Time 02:00 to 06:30 Then ON" 4 and a half hours
4. Heavy feeding
5. The tank is at 7200 feet above sea level
It's hard to judge if the moonlight is making any difference ....
In general the tank is doing grate, lately I experimented some color fading I think because I tried to remove Pohl's Xtra and use AcroPower but is maybe just the winter sun... Some pics with only solatubes
